Ideal users for this Things 3 alternative
If you've heard about Things 3's elegant GTD implementation but can't use it because you're on Windows, Organized3 gives you the same workflow on your preferred platform.
Manage coursework, assignments, and deadlines with a simple system. The Someday list is perfect for tracking long-term goals while focusing on immediate tasks.
Handle complex projects across work and personal life. The GTD methodology helps you achieve "mind like water" — stress-free productivity.
When team members use different devices (Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android), Organized3 ensures everyone can use the same task management system.
Your system matters more than your data. Here is the clean way to move.
In Things 3, review each project and copy the tasks that are still alive. Most people discover half their list is stale. Skip those: a migration is a free weekly review.
Create the same Projects, then paste tasks into the Inbox and process them. Inbox, Today, Upcoming, and Someday work the way you already know from Things 3.
Plenty of switchers run Things 3 on their iPhone and Organized3 on Windows during the transition. When Windows becomes your main workspace, consolidate.

Common questions about switching from Things 3 to Organized3
Yes. Many users use Things 3 on their Apple devices and Organized3 on their Windows PC. However, the two apps don't sync with each other — you'd need to manage tasks separately. For a unified experience across all devices, consider switching fully to Organized3.
Organized3 includes the core GTD features that make Things 3 popular: Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Someday, Projects, and Logbook. It also adds voice input, which Things 3 lacks. Some advanced Things 3 features like Areas may differ in implementation.
Currently, Organized3 is available as native apps for Windows, iOS, and Android. A web version is not available yet, but the cross-platform native apps cover most use cases.
Organized3 uses cloud sync to keep your tasks updated across all devices. Create a task on your Windows PC, and it appears on your phone within seconds. Sync also works offline — changes queue up and sync when you're back online.
